CLEVEDON Pier has been shortlisted for a St John Ambulance First Aid Award.

The seafront landmark is in the retail, leisure and tourism sector, along with five other nominees, for the awards which will be handed to the winners on November 19.

The pier was nominated for its commitment to first aid, with eight of nine staff members trained as first aiders as well as a wheelchair for assisting anyone who may become injured. It is also seeking sponsorship funds to install a defibrillator.
